Irish Tithe Applotment Book images go online

The LDS FamilySearch website has made available online images of the Tithe Applotment Books 1814-1855. The books record a land valuation of Ireland that was carried out prior to the well-known Griffith’s Valuation in the mid-19th century.

The books that have been digitised and indexed are from the National Archives of Ireland and mainly cover what is now the Republic of Ireland, although there are some images for a few parishes in Counties Armagh, Down, Fermanagh and Tyrone (all now in Northern Ireland).
